SUCCESSFUL students from the first Cadets Course at Hockley GC are pictured above alongside club professional Gary Stubbington and captains Alex Pugh and Doug Peacock who presented them with their certificates.

All of the children passed with a merit or a distinction and have progressed to the bronze level of the course.

Ages range from eight to 15 and Stubbington said: "We are delighted with the first course and look forward to introducing many more children to the great game of golf."
